Horacio Rodríguez Larreta referred to the downturn in the co-participation that the national government intends for the City of Buenos Aires and assured that he “trusts the word” of Alberto Fernández.” I trust the President’s word, who said that everything will be condoned and talked about. Not only are we not looking for a conflict but quite the opposite,” Larreta said.
The discussion revolves around how much the co-participation discount will be that the national government will remove from the Federal Capital, which received an increase of 1.4% to 3.75% when It took over Mauricio Macri in early 2016, for the transfer of the Federal Police and then discounted in 2017 with the fiscal pact to 3.5%.
I would like to confirm once again my vocation to continue to have a constructive and institutional dialogue with the national government. There are many issues that we need to coordinate and work together. — Horacio Rodríguez Larreta (@horaciorlarreta)

“I hope it doesn’t get complicated, everything that’s out there is journalistic transcends. I heard it from the President, very clear, who said that everything we do with the city is going to be consensued, talked, as we did so far,” he said in dialogue with Radio Mitre.
The City of Buenos Aires today has 100 thousand fewer inhabitants and almost 500 billion budget. These things need to be discussed without being angry, with absolute rationality. It’s not a question of peronists or anti-peronists. It is to discuss where we need to allocate resources pic.twitter.com/f7nPz365pw — Cristina Kirchner (@CFKArgentina)

The number that the City would lose is around 35 billion, although they still failed to agree on the amount.
